Thermore, an Italian firm that specialises in research, development and production of high-quality thermal insulation for apparel, has launched EVOdown, made of 100 per cent recycled fibres from PET bottles. EVOdown bridges the gap between free fibres and traditional padding, delivering ultra-soft hand and luxurious drape of blow-in fibres in a rolled form.
The hybrid technology - as consumers like to refer to it - allows to boost productivity and ease of manufacturing. EVOdown consists of millions of free fibres encapsulated by two containing outer layers, making it the world’s only product of this type. Consumers will enjoy the lightweight and silky touch of EVOdown-made garments, as well as its unbeatable easy care, the company said in a media release.
EVOdown Recycled is another step towards sustainability for the Milan-based company, which has now converted over 97 per cent of its turnover into insulations made of either fully or partially recycled fibres. This brings Thermore closer than ever to an exclusively sustainable product offer; and while the industry talks about future projects and roadmaps. Thermore is already at the finish line being almost completely sustainable. Sustainability has always been part of Thermore’s DNA, as the Group pioneered the use of recycled fibres in the early 80s and mastered it thereafter.
